Editorial Reviews

The Crimson Wing: Mystery of the Flamingos is a new French documentary film that was created by Disney (Disneynature). The film documents the life cycle of flamingos and was filmed in Northern Tanzania.... The nice thing about this film is the original score brought to you by The Cinematic Orchestra with help from The London Metropolitan Orchestra.

The Cinematic Orchestra is a U.K.-based jazz and electronic outfit, created in the late 1990s by Jason Swinscoe, which records on the Ninja Tune independent record label.

This soundtrack is beautiful. Just beautiful. I am an avid movie orchestral soundtrack guy, and this is one of the best I have ever heard. Like mostly everyone else, I discovered it from the Armani commercial. Any time the commercial would come on TV, I was captivated. I was hoping the rest of the soundtrack would be just as amazing, and I was not let down by any means. Every single track tells a story and is just amazing. I highly, highly, recommend this to everyone.

Sometimes it takes an expensive commercial to help us find music that we wish we had found before. One of the most moving and expressive pieces of music on the market today. The opening title grabs you in, the second piece (Arrival of the Birds) brings you to your knees clutching the kleenex box to your chest and the music doesn't let you go for the rest of the score. I haven't been able to see the movie this soundtrack accompanied but I can only imagine the music along with the movie theme would reduce me to a puddle of tears and snot.
